Negroes Poetical Superstition.

The country negroes in South Carolina,
Georgia and portions of Florida have a
very pretty and somewhat poetical super
sutton. During the stiffness of the night,
when the gentle swaying pine trees are
singing their weird requiems. whole fami-
lies will sit about their cabin doors and
listen intently to this music of the forest.
In its changing melody they hear the
voices of dead friends predicting good or
evil for the future or revealing secrets of
the tomb. BROOKLYN Citizen.

HE WONT HAVE IT.
villas forbids the Railway Postal Clerks
Convention.
WASHINGTON, July 12.-The post
master general has written the follow
ing letter to clerk In the sixth divi.
sion, who inquired II q convention Of
the postal clerks In that division
would meet with the approval Of the
department:
Dear sir-I am In receipt of your let.
ter desiring to know whether the de-
psrtment would look upon . conven-
ton of the railway postal clerks of the
sixth division with favor. 1t being
stated that the objects are to cultivate
fraternity, afford chiefs an opportun.
ity Of meeting and hearing from the
working force, and clerks an opportu-
nifty Of making known to the depart
ment their needs and securing the
consideration of Q more equitable
grading Of postal lines. In response I
feel bound to state that such conven-
tion, in my judgment, is worse than
valueless and unnecessary. The "fra-
ternity" which will advance the use
fulness of postal clerks is the common
devotion to duty, and the common pa
triotic pride which animates every
good citizen to strive to honor the
country which intrusts Its business to
his hands, by just subordination TO
Its discipliue and laws, and a faithful
performance of his duties. / am well
satisfied that this spirit now pervades
the railway mail service. Meeting Of
the chiefs of the service with clerks on
the road is sufficiently provided by
regulations and usage. The needs Of
postal clerks and their equitable grad
ing are the constant care of the depart
ment and its officers, to whom they
belong. The opportunity for q general
survey afford them better means of
forming judgment, that the law may
be right In assuming that the subject
may be more safely intrusted there
than to the inspiration Of genius linn
tied within narrower compass.
There is not only no occasion for any
such convention, but IL is forbidden
by sound principles. The people leg.
islate through their constitutional
Representatives, and neither require
nor will be likely long to tolerate asso-
Citations of their servants designed to
advance their own interests. Postal
clerks will be better officers, more use
full In their generation, aud secure
greater favor from the public whom
they serve and by whom they are en-
ployed and paid, II every man shall
faithfully and thoroughly discharge
bis appointed duty IN obedience to the
officers and the regulations.
Rejoicing with . just pride In the
accomplishments Of service Of which
he lie q worthy part, he may make to
his superior such reports and sugges-
tions for improvement rs be shall
tboughtfully evolve from his observa.
tion and experience, according to due
usage, without any convention, at

bottoms-the ground slopes northward
to the Smoky River, westward towards
Lambs Creek and eastward towards
Deer Creek. The country tributary to
the city is thickly settled. Enterprise
has telephone connections with Abilene
and Detroit. With a populatSon to-
day of one thousand people, her extra
railroad facilities, and magnificent wa
ter power and energy of her citizens
will double her population in twelve
months.
Enterprise has large creamery, sue
cessfully managed, that offers good
market for the diarymen. The city's
elegant school building and corps of
competent teachers offer superior edu-
catiOnal facilities. A Normal college
to cost $4,000, has been secured.
Three churches with earnest, intelligent
pastors, hold services every Sabbath.
While Abilene contains our hearthstOne
and our business interests, the Re-
FLECToR is pleased to note the pros
perity of all the towns in our county.
And we predict that Enterprise, with
all her superior advantages of railway
facilities and her grand water power,
will prosper and rapidly increase in
population, whether her distance from
the county seat is six or sixty miles.
